ECW, on behalf of and in coordination with Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire East, and Warrington Borough Councils, is seeking to appoint consultancy support to produce a Cheshire and Warrington Outline Energy Plan; providing the evidence base to support local growth ambitions and investment pipeline development, support future spatial development work in Cheshire and Warrington, and support engagement in the NESO Regional Energy Strategic Planning (RESP) process.
This commission will provide a strong local evidence base for current and future demand, and build the case for investment in energy infrastructure to support both local growth ambitions and commitments in our Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Strategy to support the local energy transition and government ambitions for Clean Power by 2030.
Clean Energy is one vital component of Cheshire and Warrington growth ambitions, with unique existing (e.g.
VisNet, Gas Storage Facilities) and upcoming (e.g.
HyNet, HALEU) infrastructure providing substantial opportunities for us to pioneer approaches to clean power and industrial decarbonisation.
This infrastructure will support wider growth opportunities, ensuring that Cheshire and Warrington is an attractive location for housing growth, business development, and reindustrialisation.
To better grasp this opportunity, it is vital we: 1.
Better understand our baseline energy demand.
2.
Have access to light-touch scenario planning to anticipate the likely changes to generation and demand over the next 5-10 years.
3.
Can clearly and consistently produce early evidence for RESP, DSO, and NGET to secure strategic reinforcement to grid.
4.
Understand the integration of different energy transition vectors across the C&W landscape.
5.
Can drive investment to strategically vital energy projects in Cheshire and Warrington that support wider economic development.
This commission will provide the foundation for attracting inward investment in Cheshire and Warrington.
In the first instance it will ensure a clear understanding of the current and future energy infrastructure requirements, supporting the business case for major developments currently stalled by grid constraints (e.g.
Mersey Ring), and position the region competitively for national funding streams in 2027-28 which will be available via DSO ED3, potential T3 re-openers, and the NESO RESP process.
This ITT sets out the information which is required in order to assess the suitability of bidders in terms of their technical approach and solutions, stakeholder engagement and relationships management, quality assurange and project management approach, and value for money to meet the requirements of ECW for the development of a Cheshire and Warrington Outline Energy Plan.
